Chapter 110 Enemies Meet Again

Great Wall.

Several days after Cain was sent to Chang'an by Cheng Yaojin, the Great Wall, which had just been through a fierce battle, began to gradually recover and be repaired.

Beyond the Great Wall lay a vast, dark mass of demonic corpses. The demons had perished in this great battle; their countless bodies piled up like mountains, exposed to the scorching sun, emitting a deafening stench—a veritable hellish landscape of carnage, utterly horrifying. The people of the Great Wall could only endure the stench as they slowly gathered the corpses together, preparing to burn them.

The army sent by Empress Wu Zetian arrived at this time. Although they were unable to support the battle, these soldiers could replenish the personnel and combat strength lost by the Great Wall.

Empress Chuanxin expressed her deep admiration for the Great Wall Guards who had fought in this great battle, and paid the highest tribute to them for protecting the territory of the Tang Dynasty and the land of the Tang Dynasty.

Furthermore, the Great Wall Guards will be rewarded.

Su Lie, having rendered meritorious service in commanding the Great Wall Guards against the demon army, has been reinstated as a general and given full authority over the Great Wall Guards.

Li Xin was promoted from his original position to deputy general for his meritorious service in commanding the defense against the demons' sneak attack on the Great Wall, and assisted Su Lie.

Shen Mengxi was promoted to the rank of centurion for his meritorious service in restraining and interfering with the demonic seed and providing cover and support to the Great Wall Guards.

As for Mulan, she did not accept any titles or rewards, and continued to wander alone, guarding the Great Wall. However, it seems that the misunderstandings that the people on the Great Wall had about her have been cleared up, which is perhaps the best reward for her.

The rewards for the Great Wall Guards were mostly salary and material rewards, with a small portion being promotions.

Every living person wore a proud expression, taking pride in protecting the Great Wall.

Of course, the warriors of the Wall have never forgotten Cain, who deserves the most credit for saving the Wall, and the Empress will personally determine the extent of his great contribution.

Several days have passed, and Chang'an has finally enjoyed a rare period of peace.

"Shen Mengxi, don't push yourself too hard. We have enough bombs now, you don't need to make any more." In the morning, a passing soldier saw Shen Mengxi still working hard in the room and couldn't help but advise her.

"Okay, I understand. I'll rest after I finish this last one," Shen Mengxi said, then focused intently on her work. Her fingers moved nimbly, and a cat-shaped bomb gradually took shape before her eyes.

This ancestral craftsmanship has become increasingly refined in his hands, resulting in significant improvements in the performance and capacity of the cat-shaped bombs.

"Finally finished." Shen Mengxi breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

After the Great Wall battle, Shen Mengxi changed a lot. Although she was still short, her eyes had lost some of their innocence and gained more determination and maturity.

"It's okay, Shen Mengxi, trust me."

The calm words still echoed in Shen Mengxi's ears. With an indifferent tone, he performed a life-threatening feat. His back, as dazzling as the sun's rays, was as majestic as a towering figure.

Defeating the crisis and falling without hesitation deeply shocked Shen Mengxi.

He was overwhelmed by a sense of powerlessness and determination. At that moment, he seemed to have grown up. Cain undoubtedly had a huge impact on Shen Mengxi.

"I wonder how Cain is doing now. Lord Cheng Yaojin sent word that Cain has been successfully treated and will wake up in a few days. Cain hopes you get better soon." Shen Mengxi murmured to herself, kneading the cat-shaped bomb in her hand.

"Forget it, there's no use thinking about it. I'd better focus on improving myself so I can give him a surprise when he comes back." Shen Mengxi rubbed her temples wearily.

"Gurgle gurgle~" A sound rang out from inside Shen Mengxi's stomach at just the right time.

"I'm hungry too, let's go get something to eat." Shen Mengxi rubbed her empty stomach, got up and left the room, heading towards the cafeteria.

"Greetings, Lord Shen Mengxi!" He walked confidently toward the canteen, and soldiers passing by greeted him loudly from time to time.

"Hmm." Shen Mengxi smiled smugly and nodded in satisfaction. This was the benefit that came with his position as a centurion. He was one step closer to his dream, becoming one of the heroes who saved the Great Wall, and a famous figure in the Great Wall.

Shen Mengxi's long, thin tail swayed lightly behind her, showing her cheerful mood, as she walked towards Guanlou Canteen with an air of nonchalance.

It seems he hasn't changed at all; he's still the same Shen Mengxi—full of energy and prone to outbursts. This is his attitude towards life as a servant, but in battle, he appears much more mature and cautious.

"Lord Shen Mengxi is here for lunch too?" A soldier greeted Shen Mengxi as they arrived at the canteen.

"Yeah, stir-fried potatoes again today? Great Wall is great in every way, but the food is a bit... monotonous," Shen Mengxi said, pouting.

Although the Great Wall is now well-supplied with supplies, the person in charge of cooking is not very good at it, and the food is mediocre. After eating it for a while, Shen Mengxi gets tired of it, which makes her a little unhappy.

"Lord Shen, don't you know? There's a new chef at the Great Wall who's really good at cooking. The food smells amazing," a curious soldier said to Shen Mengxi.

"Really? Then I'll go take a look!" Shen Mengxi was pleasantly surprised.

He is a person with more initiative than many others, and he does whatever comes to mind. When he heard about the changes to the Great Wall Catering, he was very moved, so he ran there excitedly to find out what was going on.

Pushing open the door to the kitchen of the gatehouse, he smelled an enticing aroma, an aroma he had never experienced before in the Great Wall's kitchen. Shen Mengxi was excited and couldn't wait to get up and have a big meal.

"boom--!"

But before even touching the steaming pot lid, they stopped immediately, the rubber bullets that grazed past clearly issuing a "no stealing" warning.

After snapping out of her momentary daze, Shen Mengxi jumped up in a fit of rage and chased after the direction from which the bullet had been fired.

His wide eyes turned to one side of the kitchen, where a tall young man was chopping vegetables, and a wisp of smoke was rising from the muzzle of a long gun next to him.

"Next time I see this, I won't just hit air." As he spoke, the young man turned his face, revealing a gentle and handsome appearance.

Instantly, Shen Mengxi's raised right hand trembled violently. Why was she seeing this person here?!

Fate is a wondrous thing; it opens a window of light for you, only to send you a tragic fate.

“It’s you, Bai… Baili!” Shen Mengxi said with a grim expression.

It was Baili Shouyue who, through Su Lie's introduction, joined the Great Wall Guard and entered the logistics department. He took the initiative to take on the cooking work, and his extraordinary cooking skills quickly won the favor of everyone on the Great Wall.

Has life finally turned on me? Why did I have to run into him?!

Shen Mengxi cried out in her heart.

"You are... the cat that bullied Xuan Ce when we were kids?"

Baili Shouyue was somewhat surprised and stopped what he was doing. He didn't expect to run into an acquaintance at the Great Wall, even though he didn't like this acquaintance who had bullied Xuan Ce.

"What cat? My name is Shen Mengxi!" Shen Mengxi suddenly bristled and shouted loudly.

"Why are you here!?"

"Why can't I be here?"
